Hi Pauline - a beautiful card - but a very sad story - made all the more difficult for me because my dad seems to be going that way too. Nothing diagonsed yet but I think its the path we're on. Give your mum a big hug from me! And you take one too!!! Rachel xx

Hi Pauline so sad to think of what your poor dad is like now..BUT your mum will have lots of happy memories not the same as having dad about I know (I used to work with elderly care & know what you must be feeling) on a brighter note hope you have a lovely day with your mum..am sure she loves this gorgeous card you made..

It must be difficult to see your dad changes, also difficult for your mother and ofcourse that they are not together anymore. The card you've made for them is gorgeous, I am sure your mother is loving this and if your dad is in a good "mood" he will love this to.65 Years.......what a time!I hope you have a nice time and you'll find him well.Hugs from the Netherlands,liefs Hanny♥http://tierelantijntjes.blogspot.nl

Oh Wow! your card is SO beautiful Pauline… I love the image and the decoupage really gives it a lovely 3D effect. I zoomed in and the fruit looks good enough to pick up and eat! :-))I'm so sorry about your dad… my dad got sudden onset dementia near the end… it just came on out of the blue after an operation… I found that was the hardest thing to deal with... more so than the physical illness that he had… my heart goes out to you and sending you huge hugs!!Take CareLove Sue xx

Such a really beautiful card Pauline. I do hope you and your Mum had a good day with your Dad.There are no words that can make things right again, but remember you will always have the support and love from all your blogging buddies xx

A gorgeous card Pauline. The image and design are gorgeous.I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad, it must be really difficult to watch him go through this. I hope he is having a good day on his anniversary.Lorraine x

It's a beautiful card Pauline to commemorate a very special anniversary that not very many people will see. It is so seldom that people reach such a significant milestone in anniversaries you must all be so proud. My father's memory was taken from him at quite an early age due to a cerebral aneurysm but, like your father, he was still precious to me but in a different way, we can't always choose the paths life gives us but I guess we make the most of them. Enjoy your day with y our wonderful parents hugs Susanx

65 years of marriage - that is impressive! I hope youl all will enjoy the big day - you've made a gorgeous card for the occasion! So sad to hear about your dad, it must be really hard on your family...

Pauline - this is fabulous. Happy Anniversary to your parents. Your card is super pretty and sure to bring a smile. I am so sorry to hear about your father. I know what this is like as I went through the same thing with mine. I will add you all to my prayers and hope your visit goes well and you have time to do some fun stuff this holiday. Many hugz to you and your family!
